That would be awful for Besson's film. 

-50% is a normal drop for this kind of blockbuster, it's so silly the way you seem to enjoy every "dissapointing" number of Valerian. Yes a $200m movie which was the movie of a director lifetime is bombing, so funny isn't it ? A movie that employed more than 1500 people is bombing, let's enjoy that ! 

What would be awful is this Cars 3 number (it's not happening the movie is gonna do 750k at least I think, it has terrific previews numbers)

Well, it's impossible in France. I mean, Rogue One did $40m...

Basically the top in $ for space operas in French boxoffice is :

 

1) Avatar : 176m$

2) SW7 : 88m$

3) The Fifth Element : ~~around 60m$

SW3 : 57m$

Rogue One : 40m$

SW2 : 30.6m$

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 : 25m$

Guardians of the Galaxy : 20m$

Prometheus : 16m$

John Carter : 8.9m$

Star Trek ID : 8m$

Star Trek : 6.9m$

Star Trek Beyond : 5.8m$

Jupiter Ascending : 5.5m$

Chronicles of Riddick : 5.2m$

 

With the current exchange rate that is very unfavorable, we could  not expect better!

 

The exchange rate strongly improved this year though, the Euro gained more than 10% against the US dollar till now.

I agree, this hatred from @marveldcfox is disturbing. It's like Besson raped him or something like that....

Hello everyone, 

Is there any update on the results for the weekend yet? And do you think Dunkirk can reach 20 mil USD? Despite all the historical controversy, it seems to have been holding quite fine. Any response is greatly appreciated!

Hi Motui, we should know in a few hours on insidekino or cinedirectors.net

[motui302]

Hi MinaTakla,

Thanks very much for your response. So glad to be speaking to you. I've been enjoying your posts immensely together with those by Rth Homecoming, Industrious Angel and Rsyu. Really appreciate your effort!

 

Where do you think Dunkirk will wind up in France? I'm hoping it could at least pass Wonder Woman. And a final gross north of 20 mil USD or 2.5 mil admission will be even nicer. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you:) 2.5m admissions are possible given it may add around 380K admissions this week for a total of 1.8m+. 

So it will probably end around 2.3-2.5m admissions. Multiply that by around 7.3 and you get your USD final.

Hi MinaTakla, 

Thanks very much for the post. So this means Dunkirk was overestimated by a whooping 145,000 admissions. It seems to be the issue for the rest of the titles as well. That's quite amazing!

 

Looking at the number, 2.5 mil admissions for Dunkirk appears to be out of reach. My hope is it will ultimately pass Wonder Woman. 

By the way, I used Wonder Woman's total admission from cine-directors: 2,157,000 and the dollar gross from boxofficemojo: 17,238,368 USD and got 8 USD per ticket. This is way cheaper compared to us here in Australia: 15 AUD.

Cine-directors gave projections for the whole week from Wednesday to Tuesday.  Usually french sources use weekly admission numbers. Not for weekends.

How's A:C doing here?

Do you mean Alien: Covenant? That one did 1,25M after an 600k OW.

 

Edit: Just saw it in the Indonesia Thread. A:C = Annabelle: Creation (Would have been strange since its a few months since Aliens)

Nope. Annabelle: Creation, France was the third highest market for the original movie, I wonder if this one can at least stay flat?

2PM Paris :

1- The Dark Tower (1014 admissions)

3- Annabelle 2 (914 admissions)

 

Pretty low for both so. The Dark Tower is gonna do 300k admissions this week at best. Very hard to say for Annabelle tho. The first did 926 admissions but it was not during vacations. Conjuring 2 did 2567 admissions at the same hour... But we have to wait for the OD number to be sure...

 

 

We have the actual number of the Week (8/2 - 8/8):

source: cine-directors.net

 

 

The Apes finally won the week, but Cars 3 was very close and finally is increasing a bit from the second movie. Valerian is doing a ok-ish drop (Wonder Woman did 50%, Dunkirk did 42%).

Despicable Me 3 is now the #1 of the year and will probably keep this position until Star Wars 8 (or maybe "C'est la Vie" the new movie of Intouchables directors could surprise).

Dunkirk is gonna finish around 2.5m it's not bad... but because of the story and the setting in France I was thinking it could come close to 4m...

 

On monday/tuesday only, Cars 3 was first, Valerian second and Apes was third.

Is it right number?

 

Cause, I see 3.7 mln$ week-end

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Well below TC2, but this one was extremely front-loaded, I wonder if A:C will be more backloaded since it doesn't have the same urgency as TC2? It needs a 14.0x to reach TC2's numbers, how likely is it?

Yup, it did almost half of its Opening week-end (5 first days in France), on its OD. It was released at the last day of "La Fête du Cinema" an annual event that takes place at the beginning of july, during 4 days the cinema ticket only cost 4€ (instead of the average 7.5€ ticket).

 

Awful OD for The Dark Tower : 37 770 admissions...
